The MS B.26 is a German manuscript created by Ludwig VI von Eyb zum Hartenstein in or around 1500.[citation needed] The original currently rests in the holdings of the Universitätsbibliothek Erlangen-Nürnberg in Erlangen, Germany. It is dedicated to Philip "the Upright" (1448-1508), Elector Palatine of the Rhine. This manuscript is a compilation text and is of particular interest because, in addition to a copy of Konrad Kyeser's famous treatise on siege warfare Bellifortis, it contains an extensive treatment of fencing consistent with the manuscript group known as die Blume des Kampfes ("The Flower of Battle").[1] Die Blume des Kampfes may be based on the tradition of 14th century Italian master Fiore de'i Liberi given that his works include considerable technical overlap, but it is equally possible that they represent an earlier German tradition of which Fiore was himself an initiate.
